The "Black Ocean, cold and dark" is the drug or the world of addiction. He is the shark, an addict, who lives there. He is fast in the ocean (proficient at living there) and merciless (possibly killing those who choose his way of life) but certainly showing no care for anything other than living there.
His other love, a woman can't swim in that world because she has most likely died from it.
"I tied you to the tracks" probably refers of him introducing her to the ocean, injecting drugs.
When he turns around and hears the sound may be someone telling him she has died, thus there being no time to turn back.
What's worse than her not being able to swim is the fact that he still is using.
"My muscles will contract, your bones will crack" is not talking about "her", it is that he is strong enough to withstand what others can't while he continues to swim in the ocean.
Shooting, aiming for the sun (high) is the addict with the needle again and the truth he can not believe is she is gone and it's his fault.
There is a ton of pain in the way this song is performed but it is not the anger of a predator, it is the pain of the addict and his guilt of the harm he caused.
